I am not saying this to diss any religion institution, but when I saw deeper life church, another thought struck me. I have got friends whose parents worship with Deeper Life Ministry, they make life miserable for their children, they impose rules and doctrines and I tell you it's not funny. My friend tries sometimes to open up to me and what I hear, trust me makes me devastated....... She is always depressed as long as she stays with her parents, they condemn all she does...... Everything in life isn't spirituality, try to understand your kids, get close to them, relate with them based on their ideology and instincts. Don't condemn. Only God knows what must have transpired, to make this young man take his life this way. So Sad. 1 Like |

"he tried the commit suicide four years ago and his family has been watching him closely since then" that doctor has some mental/psychological issues that was never acknowledged or treated because ofcourse, they're deeper life - prayers will fix everything. |

vivalavida: In case you don't know let me tell you that doctors are the worst patients you could ever have. Lots of them don't care about their own health, very poor compliance to treatment if they're put on treatment. Lots of them don't practice what they "preach" to their patients. 2 Likes |

Claessique1: you're right. I had a classmate back in secondary school who was deeper life. they don't have TV in the house cos it's against their doctrine to watch TV cos of "immoral TV programmes'. She always seemed removed/redrawn in class. I knew deep down that girl isn't happy. 3 Likes |

Well said! But there's something I want to make clear to you. Nobody cares do you know who he might have talked to and no one seems to provide help. It's when the did as been done you will hear them saying trash about the person. I thought of doing same too YES! I think is the only option nobody cares all they care about is ones down fall. . amynah94: |

WHY DO DOCTORS COMMIT SUICIDE? Credit Anna Parini NEW HAVEN — TWO weeks ago, two medical residents, in their second month of residency training in different programs, jumped to their deaths in separate incidents in New York City. I did not know them, and cannot presume to speak for them or their circumstances. But I imagine that they had celebrated their medical school graduation this spring just as my friends and I did. I imagine they began their residencies with the same enthusiasm for healing as we did. And I imagine that they experienced fatigue, emotional exhaustion and crippling self-doubt at the beginning of those residencies — I know I did. The statistics on physician suicide are frightening: Physicians are more than twice as likely to kill themselves as nonphysicians (and female physicians three times more likely than their male counterparts). Some 400 doctors commit suicide every year. Young physicians at the beginning of their training are particularly vulnerable: In a recent study, 9.4 percent of fourth-year medical students and interns — as first-year residents are called — reported having suicidal thoughts in the previous two weeks. Hospitals and residency programs recognize the toll residency takes on the mental stability and physical health of new doctors. In 2003, work hours were capped at 80 hours a week for all residency training programs. Residents are provided confidential counseling services to help cope with stress. My residency program offers writing workshops and monthly reflection rounds. We have a wellness committee that organizes social events such as bonfires on the beach and visits from therapy dogs. But despite these efforts, people still fall through the cracks. While acute stress, social isolation, pre-existing mental illness and substance abuse may be obvious factors to consider, we must also ask if there are aspects of medical culture that might push troubled residents beyond their reserves of emotional resilience There is a strange machismo that pervades medicine. Doctors, especially fledgling doctors like me, feel pressure to project intellectual, emotional and physical prowess beyond what we truly possess. In his famous essay “Aequanimitas,” Sir William Osler, who founded the first American residency program at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1889, stressed the importance of equanimity in a physician. While steadiness in tense situations is an important quality for doctors to have, I believe that the imperturbability that Osler extolled has been misinterpreted to a dangerous degree. We masquerade as strong and untroubled professionals even in our darkest and most self-doubting moments. How, then, are we supposed to identify colleagues in trouble — or admit that we may need help ourselves? Interns are often bewildered at how rapidly things change for us from May to July. As medical students, while we felt compelled to work hard and excel, our shortfalls were met with reassurances: “It will all come in time.” But as soon as that M.D. is appended to our names in May, our self-expectations skyrocket, as if the conferral of the degree were an enchantment of infallibility. The internal pressure to excel is tremendous: After all, we are real doctors now. In fact, very little about us changes, apart from our legal ability to prescribe medications. But meanwhile, our workload increases along with the expectations and demands we place on ourselves. Most fourth-year medical students are expected to take care of four patients at a time. But within a month of graduation, without any additional training or practice, we are required to have a comprehensive understanding of up to 10 patients on any given day. This drastic increase in responsibility can and does overwhelm most interns. Despite the support of my supervisors, my first two months were marked by severe fatigue, numerous clinical errors (that were promptly caught by my supervisors), a constant and haunting fear of hurting my patients and an inescapable sense of inadequacy. I kept up a charade of composure and humor to blend in with my talented colleagues, believing that I was struggling alone. Inside, however, I felt as if I would be found out all too soon. It was over a dinner of Thai food that I finally opened up. One of my most accomplished colleagues in residency had complimented me on my clinical knowledge a couple of times during the meal. Sick of feeling like a charlatan, I told him about the trouble I was having with collecting clinical data and presenting it in an organized way on rounds. I confessed that I did not think I belonged in the program. He listened thoughtfully, and then uttered the three most beautiful words I had ever heard: “Dude, me too!” We need to be able to voice these doubts and fears. We need to be able to talk about the sadness of that first death certificate we signed, the mortification at the first incorrect prescription we ordered, the embarrassment of not knowing an answer on rounds that a medical student knew. A medical culture that encourages us to share these vulnerabilities could help us realize that we are not alone and find comfort and increased connection with our peers. It could also make it easier for residents who are at risk to ask for help. And I believe it would make us all better doctors. Some stoics may invoke Osler’s creed to argue that physicians must push aside our personal burdens to care for the sick. But a tired and depressed doctor who is an island of self-doubt simply isn’t as likely to improve the outcomes of his or her patients — or ever truly care for them. Pranay Sinha is a physician in his first year of residency in the department of internal medicine at Yale-New Haven Hospital. A version of this op-ed appears in print on September 5, 2014, on Page A27 of the New York edition with the headline: Why Do Doctors Commit Suicide? . |

One useless Dr. Emmanuel Onabulele said, among other things, that . . .he was said to be coming from a church. What kind of church is it, was it a white garment church ? blah, blah, blah. . . Since when has jumping into the lagoon in a suicide action become synonymous with coming from a white garment church ? I've never heard such a most silly, careless and demented-oriented statement from a supposedly educated fellow. As a neuro-surgeon, he probably suffers a bit of the ills he trained to cure. Nay Dr., has there ever been on record that someone coming back from a white garment church took his/her own life by jumping into a body of water ? In the report, we read that Dr. Alwell Orji also attempted suicide at his family home 4 years ago. Consequent upon a recurrence of such attempts, he had been placed under close watch. Do we then need a crystal-gazer to tell us his action had nothing to do with where he was going or coming from but with some kind of problem known to his family members and perhaps some neighbours as well ? Truelly ability to talk sense is a flower that doesn't grow in some people's garden irrespective of whether they are a doctor, learned or not. 1 Like |
